ERIN’S EPISTLETTES

• Our diocese's Annual Council begins this evening and runs through midday Saturday. Thank you Cory Foster and Diane Morrison for your willingness to serve as delegates! Please hold the travel and discernment of all involved in your prayers. For more information on this year's council, please visit: https://annualcouncil.episcopal-ne.org/.                              
  
• Your response to my call for donations to the rector's discretionary was incredibly generous. Thank you so much! Please continue to pray for those who come to us for aid, and me as I discern the fairest, most effective and most pastoral way to utilize available resources.  
• The Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop invites all Episcopalians to participate in a survey to help them develop a profile for our next PB. The survey, which takes about fifteen minutes to complete, is available here and will be open through October 31 (Monday). The election will take place at General Convention in 2024.  
• Godly Play and Sunday School resume 09/11. Ages 5-12 gather upstairs at 9 a.m. Sundays!
• A reminder to all Vestry Members: our next vestry meeting will be at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9!
